Most of these horses won by such huge distances that their inclusion on this list is self-evident. The ones that didn't (Tiznow and Da Hoss) I included because of what they accomplished with their victories - back to back classics for Tiznow, and "the best comeback since Lazarus" for Da Hoss.
What do you guys think? Did I forget someone or screw up the order, in your opinion?

No the "zapper" was not all that and a bag of chips.
he was a good horse that raced what, maybe 7 times.
hardly a career i would call outstanding, and his time in the BCC 2005 was no different than Pleasantly Perfects a year earlier, but for some reason, because it was mandella's horse or because it was a west coast horse winning the Bcc in Ca he gets overlokked.
PP's effort in the world cup, imo, is more impressive than a cranked up GZ's who ran once after that, and only once.
also missing from the list is the win by 31 lenghts,
nuff said about that one , i would think.
also how can you exclude Mineshaft and Perfect drift trading jumps in the eye to eye dual in the S foster 2003.
a remarkable effort from the current leader in lifetime earnings, in handing the horse of the year, minseshaft a defeat in his championship year !
